How old do I look? Don’t ask Microsoft…

Microsoft is currently trolling the internet with a new website that it has just created. Now, by uploading a selfie of yourself, it spouts out an estimate of your age – and it’s terrible.

It’s Friday, so really it’s the ideal website to help pass some fruitless time ahead of a long weekend (if you’re lucky enough to live in a country with a Bank Holiday weekend on the go).

In truth it also provides a key service for society. What happens if you have forgotten how old you are and only have access to a smartphone, a computer and the internet?

The only solution, it seems, is How-old.net. So you can compare yourself to celebrities like Cher (44!), Barack Obama (46), Michael D Higgins (70) or, the winner, Panti Bliss (27).

It’s quite a discriminatory piece of kit, though, because it refuses to accept that Kermit the Frog has a face.

Although topless Vladimir Putin does look remarkably young. His 30th is going to be a hell of a party.

In the interest of honesty and forwardness, we had some fun in here too. And also, Microsoft got our ages wrong by a collective 16 years, and discovered that Dean Van Nguyen is but a faceless rabble-rouser.
